Why Spiderman is a great party theme

Spiderman has always been cool, however, his character has gained even more popularity in recent years with the rise of Marvel superhero movies, the Avengers, and even the Spiderman into the Spiderverse collection.

With there being so many takes on Spiderman, there are lots of options for personalizing your party and fitting it to your age group. For example, younger kids may enjoy dressing up while older kids might prefer to watch the movies.

Regardless, there is something for everyone. You can capture the fun of Spiderman with fast-paced games and activities, delicious food, and of course, some really cool party favors.

Frequently Asked Questions about Party Favors

Is it OK to not have party favors?

Of course! You do not have to have party favors. They have become a common practice at kid birthday parties, but they are in no way necessary. So what is the benefit of having party favors? Often, party favors are an easy way to help your party feel more themed. You can incorporate the colors or symbols of your theme into the goodie bags, making your party feel more put together.

At what age do you stop giving party favors?

Generally, younger kids are more appreciative of a party favor. In my experience, elementary-age children are the ones who most enjoy receiving party favors. With that in mind, you can probably stop giving party favors around the ages of 10 -12. You could always continue giving gifts after that, but you might want to change the type of party favor you are giving so it is better suited to the age group.

How many items should be in a goodie bag?

I would say that 3-10 items is a good range. Most goodie bags or party favors contain small items (about the size of the kid’s hand or smaller). Dollar store items, candy, and little trinkets tend to be the most common types I have seen, so having a few in the bag makes it feel full.

What should I put in a party favor?

I think the best party favors are a mix of food/candy and little toys or objects. Little kids really like volume, so it is great to have a lot of inexpensive things making up your party gifts. My suggestion would be to pick at least one thing from both of the categories below to help make up your party bag.

Ideas for items to put in a party favor:

Food/candy
Sunglasses
Cup
Beads
Pencil/Pens
Slime
Toys
Keychains
Fidget toys
Bouncy balls

Really anything can go inside the favors. Just anything that the kids will enjoy works.
